We are five kilometers North of Punta Allen in the beautiful Sian Ka’an (where heaven meets the earth) Biosphere reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of over a million acres. The Palancar Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world, comes to shore at Xo Ki’in making it excellent for snorkeling from the beach. As it is an island with the Caribbean to the East and the Rio to the West there is always access to peaceful water.
